About this app

Leica Geosystems introduces the Leica Cyclone FIELD 360 app.

As part of the Leica Geosystems Reality Capture Solution, the Leica Cyclone FIELD 360 app links the 3D data acquisition in the field with the RTC360 laser scanner, the BLK360 imaging laser scanner or BLK2GO or BLK2GO PULSE and the data registration with Leica Cyclone REGISTER 360 post-processing office software.

On-site the user can automatically capture, register and examine scan and image data. The user interface combines easy handling of complex calculations with a graphical user guidance which offers a remarkable user experience also for novice users.

VIEW
The high-performance Leica Cyclone FIELD 360 mobile-device app is the perfect field companion for the Leica RTC360 3D laser scanner, as well as for the Leica BLK360 imaging laser scanner or BLK2GO or BLK2GO PULSE. Intuitive and instant data visualization with its user interface, remote scanner control and on-site point cloud display, navigation is a breeze - even for novice users – with full imagery and point cloud data delivered directly to a tablet using edge-computing technology.

CHECK
Direct data access and visualisation are the foundation for quality control in the field; with Cyclone FIELD 360, automatically pre-registered point cloud data enables users to quickly conduct on-site quality control checks, improves productivity, and makes for better-informed decisions in the field.

ADD
For improved interpretation in Leica Cyclone REGISTER 360 post-processing, and to add extra value and information to 3D data, Cyclone FIELD 360 enables on-site tagging of measurements, videos, images, text or voice files to the point cloud geometry simply by using a tablet.

Ratings and reviews

Same issues as of 5/22. First install had constant crashes, loss of connectivity, and inabilities to open the app properly. What confused me most when opening the app the first time was choosing my scanner. But if you hit out of that menu, you go to the home screen which has a back button (assuming it would take me back to the scanner menu). It closes the app, and you have to redo the waiting game to get back in the app. The functionality of the app is great, if you can connect all the time.

Rather than just updating the app, uninstalling and then reinstalling seems to have sorted out the connectivity problems. Once you've got through the learning curve its fairly easy to use.

3D points are completely missing. Site maps and visual alignment show set-up icons, but no points. This means you can't create links or pre-register on site. What the app does well: - Create and manage jobs - view 360 images of scan positions - scanner control: start/stop and scan settings Where it falls short: - view 3D points for visual align/creating links - Auto-hide/reveal of nav bar. This is unnecessary and causes the app to crash when I try to navigate away from the app
